Reviews

Reviewer: Wouter Wilschut, Holland.

“These books should become available to a much larger audience, through all major/better bookstores!

These volumes include the weapons techniques which are also to be found in M. Saito Sensei’s Traditional Aikido book series. Because the volumes from Saito Sensei are out of print (and are only
available through a very expensive second-hand book market), the new generation of Aikidoka won’t be able to get hold of these essential books.

These new books by Weisgard Sensei fill this gap. Even more, these two books by Weisgard Sensei breathe the spirit of Aikido on their own; beautiful and clear lay-out, good quality binding and paper, all colour-pictures. The comments on the techniques are very clear and precise and very useful. I consider these volumes to be of the same value as the original books from Saito
Sensei (and of course the books from the Doshu and other technical classics like those from C. Tissier Sensei for example) in anyone’s Aikido study; invaluable, indispensable! It is an honour for me writing here.
Get yourself a copy, you won’t regret it!
